The Ralphs/Food 4 Less Dinosaur Dash is looking for sponsors for the 19th annual Run for Education, which will be held Nov. 1 at The Market Place. “During these tough economic times, advertising is more important than ever. The Dinosaur Dash is a great way to reach potential customers while supporting our public schools,” explained sponsor chairperson Connie Smith. Sponsor fees start at $500 and include an optional booth, an ad in the “Goodie Book,” which features ads and coupons from sponsors, and a listing in the event brochure. To be listed in the event brochure, commitments must be made by Aug. 28. Also, exhibit booths for the Nov. 1 event are available to distribute information, samples and promotional items to the expected 10,000 attendees. Booth fees start at $350.

The Dinosaur Dash is a timed 5K and 10K race, along with a 2K fun run. More than 10,000 participants and spectators are expected at the annual event. Proceeds from the event benefit the Tustin Public Schools Foundation. Proceeds will support the new after-school music program for elementary students, after-school sports at middle schools, tutors for the AVID program, books for school libraries, grants for schools and other initiatives to enhance learning. More information is available at www.DinosaurDash.net or by calling 714-832-6299.
